(Reuters) - Millwall said they were "dismayed and saddened" on Sunday after their supporters booed players taking a knee to oppose racism before a Championship match on Saturday, and promised to work on the matter with Kick It Out and others.

Millwall's second-tier clash with Derby County at The Den stadium was among the first to see fans back at matches amid the COVID-19 pandemic, but the occasion was marred by loud booing from among the 2,000 spectators at the venue.
